However...I do think that “Trump is racist” is a powerful general election emotional argument which Trump must overcome.

He took a good shot at that the other day with his "What have you got to lose" speech.

I agree entirely.

I think we have to trust that Trump knows how to frame a response to an issue. The main question is, does he understand that this is how he is being framed, and that he has to respond with equal clarity, forcefulness...and in a way that is unpredictable. Not like a traditional conservative, who would say, “I am not racist!” Trump changes the game. This MAY turn out to be yet another brilliant re-configuring of the table by Trump, responding in a super effective way and in an unpredictable way to what is essentially a pretty old liberal tactic.

So, yah, I think you (and Trump) are on to something!
